RE: Big Buck Bow Hunters
ORIGINAL: Schultzy What clicked all of a sudden for you to start enjoying success? What was the one thing that started to put you in better odds on shooting a nice mature buck or at least seeing these big guys? |
RE: Big Buck Bow Hunters
letting smaller bucks walk and not hunting over foodsources but hunting the woods and timber 100-200 yards away from a food source in staging areas

RE: Big Buck Bow Hunters
I leave my small ones for the doe tags & seeing the big boys is a thrill in itself. shooting is a bonus. Mind you, I've shot a lot of baskets, because that's what there is, where I hunt on public land. Plus the food they eat is exactly conducive toantlergrowth. Very, very rare to see big ones, but they are there. Mind you, I don't shoot them for the rack, looking to fill my freezer. But would prefer a doe in place of a basket rack.

It would probably be my location we have great deer here and knowing that at anytime a big buck could step out not alway giving a shot butI'll hold out till the end anyway. One rule i follow is if i pass on a buck the first time i see him he gets a pass all season.

RE: Big Buck Bow Hunters
Last year was the first time I harvested a mature buck. Two actually. I am only 17 but I have spent a lot of time in the woods. In that time I have seen a lot of mature bucks and have kind of seen how they act and it is a lot different than other deer. This summer I have been doing a lot of glassing. I purchased a spotting scope and it is one of the best hunting investments I have ever made. It lets me see deer that I normally would never see and it allows me to watch them from a safe distance. I have some good footage of some very good deer and if I can find out how to put videos on here I could show you. But I would say glassing in the summer is very important when it comes to wanting to know what kind of bucks roam your property.
